Briefcase #2

Briefcase #2

After posting my husband's birthday briefcase, I had requests for the pattern.  I've been working on making a pattern (something totally new for me) and this is my second shot at the briefcase.

The truly amazing thing about this briefcase is my daughter wove the fabric on a loom (Not the cotton print but the background fabric). She owns a loom the size of a bedroom and she wove the fabric on that loom. 

Every time I work on this I find something else I should have done differently.  The outside pocket when unzipped is unfinished.  No big deal now but when making the pattern I want that to be finished.  I also haven't figured out a good way to put that lining into the bag. 

Here's the finished product....
